I sneak into Truk.

I came in at night simply because I thought I could get some tonnage and get out thinking all high and mighty of myself.

I came in from the north passage found the task force at anchor but there was so much fog I could not get a good solution unless I was so close that the fish were below minimum range. I had radar contacts but with out a course orientation I might be firing straight on and miss every time.

I sat submerged for 24 hours.

The fog lifted and I had clear sights on the whole lot. The log entry shows the kills.

The sadness comes in after I get back to port thinking they are going to love me for this one.

I get one bronze star.

No new boat. I mean sure the medal is nice but come on mates?!?!?

All this fire power at the bottom of the lagoon for one bronze medal??

Just seems sad ...
